Anderson County’s first trip through the 30th District Girls’ basketball race continues Saturday when the Lady Bearcats host Spencer County. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m.
Spencer, the district runner-up to Anderson the last two seasons, was hit hard by graduation last year, but returns guard Alyssa Howie, the pre-season pick as the Eighth Region’s top player.
A 5-5 senior guard, Howie has been starting on the Bear varsity since she was in the seventh grade. She will have to carry her team in her final campaign.
